Please describe your proposed project below in 250 words or less. The project should be something that a team of students (approx. 3-6) could complete in approximately 4 months, and that would be useful to your business. A few examples from our past work with students include:

(1) A “make or buy” decision: An analysis of whether a company should produce a product or component itself, or outsource production.

(2) Market research to support a decision on whether to introduce a new product.

(3) Analysis for re-design or re-launch of a business website.

If you have questions about your project, we invite you to reach out to SBDC State Director Rich Grogan (richard.grogan@unh.edu) in advance to discuss. Thank you for considering a submission!

Brittany Dooling and Michael Reardon didn’t know what to expect when they launched a GoFundMe campaign early in 2016, the year they planned to debut their Mad Radish CSA farm in Chesterfield, New Hampshire. Spring was on the horizon and they needed funds before the planting season could begin in just a few months. They needed a heater for the greenhouse they had inherited with their rented property. The truck needed repairs. They needed seed and starts and soil.
